Instant Pot Veggie Tortilla Pie

Step 1

Place 2 corn tortillas in the bottom of the 6" pan (just stack them together).

Step 2

Sprinkle on about 2 Tbsp of the cheese.

Step 3

Add 1/3 of the zucchini.

Step 4

Sprinkle on 1/3 of the spice mixture.

Step 5

Then add 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn kernels, and 1/3 of the Salsa.

Step 6

Place a corn tortilla on top and gently press down.

Step 7

Add 1/3 of the zucchini.

Step 8

Sprinkle on 1/3 of the spice mixture.

Step 9

Then add 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn kernels, and 1/3 of the Salsa.

Step 10

Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining cheese.

Step 11

Place another corn tortilla on top and gently press down.

Step 12

Add 1/3 of the zucchini.

Step 13

Sprinkle on 1/3 of the spice mixture.

Step 14

Then add 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn kernels, and 1/3 of the Salsa.

Step 15

Sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining cheese (reserve the remaining cheese for the end).

Step 16

Then add the remaining corn tortilla on top and gently press down. It's okay if it is slightly above the rim of the pan.

Step 17

Cover the pan with foil and crimp it on tightly so moisture doesn't get in.

Step 18

Add the water to the pressure cooker inner liner. Set the pan on the trivet and place in the pressure cooker.

Step 19

Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

Step 20

Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 20 minutes. High Pressure. The pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure.

Step 21

When the cook cycle has finished, turn off the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes (10 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure.

Step 22

When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid.

Step 23

Carefully remove the pan from the pressure cooker, using the handles of the trivet. Set in on a heat safe surface (still on the trivet).

Step 24

Carefully open the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Then close the foil and let it sit for 5-10 minutes so the cheese can melt a little, and the tortilla pie can set up.

Step 25

When ready to serve, set a can on a plate. Then place the push pan on top of the can and gently push down to remove the tortilla pie from the pan. The plate will catch any juices. See photon in post.

Step 26

Slice and serve with desired garnishes.
